This is a misconception and is not true.
I do not know who started it, unless it was the AMA or the Banana
industry. ( Not the deficiency issue, the Banana content issue )

Banana story. (extremely high in potassium)
They are moderately high, with many foods being close behind.
A number of foods are much higher, even near twice as high. Some are over
twice as high. Why would anyone say they are extremely high?
Even Prevention Magazine had a half page about bananas being used in a
drink. I think the has a total of 750 mg which was twice as high as most
bananas, unless they are huge.
Plus the quality varies a lot. Some are near tasteless which likely means
they are low in all nutrients.
I have a nutrition listing of most better foods that I eat intentionally.
About 1/3 way down on each listing you will see potassium listed.

You can scroll the list and view each quickly, even on a slow dial up.
The pages are text based, not graphics/
These are all 100 gram listings, slightly over 4 ounces, 1/4 pound.
Look at the list. You may be amazed at the potassium in many foods and the
fact that they are much higher than bananas.
